Boys the Bishop retains power in the Church even if he is retired. The power comes from the vast amount of knowledge that he has that the Abbess does not. Sure the Abbess could choose to ignore the Bishop but that may cause her to lose some of her supporters because of their strong ties to the Bishop. Thus the Bishop retains power through the politics of the Church as well as his knowledge.

Lord Shaene, hiding in shadows won't help you when the Abbess can smell your stench...I mean scent from a mile away!
